I wanted some sailor hats for an upcoming Octonaut birthday party. I saw the card cutout ones with elastic backs that are available on Amazon and come from the UK and take over a month to arrive. They work out to be about 50 cents each and you still have to assemble them. Some comments said they tear easily.
When I found these I figured they would be worth the $1.38/each. They came Prime in 2 days and were definitely worth paying a little more. They are clean, crisp and bright white, and 100% cotton cloth. I used to sew a lot and you couldn't pay me less than a dollar to sew this. Whenever I get something like this I think about how much the person in China was paid to assemble it. I wonder if they were lucky to get 10 cents. Probably less. There would be several steps and a lot of stitching to complete.
Sure there are a few loose threads to trim and they may not be perfect, though I'm sure if I sewed it, it wouldn't be perfect either.
I found the Octonaut logo on the internet, printed it in color on card stock, cut it out and stuck it to the hat with double-sided tape. Some adult family members will wear them into the party for fun, and then pass them on to the kids. Not a bad price to pay for a little fun. I'm adding a photo so you can see. On an adult head it (barely) fits and is more like a beanie. But even the Octonaut hats in the cartoon fit more like that anyway.
Who knows how long the kids will keep them on. But they will last a lot longer than a thin cardstock/elastic band hat, that's for sure.
We ordered these for the grand kids for vacation. We had a lot of fun playing with these. Of course one 'captain' or 'admirals' hat was a BIG part of the fun..choosing who was IN CHARGE... and who would be the sailors following 'orders'. haha Good fun! They held up well and made for some fun memories and photos.
Arrived flat and very crushed. I ironed them and embroidered our names on for a cruise. Does not fit an adult head very well.
I bought these for an upcoming baby shower with a Nautical theme to use as table centerpieces with some other decorations. They are great quality for the price and I'm excited that after the shower is over, they will be able to use a couple in the baby's room as decor and possibly for his NB pics since my Brother (Daddy to be) was in the Navy! Only thing I would suggest is that when you recieve them, to turn them inside out so the brim's edge is flipped up (like in pic) and then push the crown of the head up a little. They are shipped folded in half flat so it leaves a significant fold in the brim. I'm letting mine sit out to hopefully shape them back a little more round and get the folded wrinkles out from around the hat's brim. Otherwise, I think they'll be perfect!
The hats fit perfect on 2 year olds. They are decent quality for the price and the seller was fast to ship the items. I would buy recommend this item

I really like these hats. I made sure to read reviews before purchasing. Main reason for buying them was for a nautical party. Really had them available for the children. Then I noticed the adults were wearing them. Needless to say they enjoyed them and took them home. This packet contains 12 hats. For the price, this is worth it. Would buy again for another party. I liked the quality.
Very nice! I bought them for a party and they worked perfectly! The nicest part is that they are cloth, so the guests were able to take them home and use them for later. Many of the guests had children, so they were only too happy to have cloth sailor hats to give to their kids.
I thought these were wonderful. No chemical smell which some said they had problems with. I am a petite adult and this hat does fit on my head, so it might be big for very small children, but I got them for a church class with K-4th graders and am happy with the results, the kids look adorable! Happy with the value.
I needed lots of these for my son's first birthday party. After trying to save costs by looking for paper ones, I found these ones for the same price as the paper! They are a little big (more adult size than child size) but for the price, they were great! The kids had fun decorating them and everybody got to take a hat home.
It added a lot to the sailor themed party.
